Will Fuller May Have Opportunity To Shine

With the Miami Dolphins having allowed just five touchdowns to wide receivers and the Texans possessing a No. 1 receiver who rates as a top fantasy option, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller finds himself in a tough spot on Thursday. Fuller hasn't found the end zone in three consecutive games, as hamstring and hip […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains Strong Option In Week 8

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has had his two lowest receiving totals of the season over the past two weeks, but he's found the end zone both times to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective. Week 8's matchup with the Dolphins offers Hopkins another chance to succeed, though Miami's defense has done well […]

Lamar Miller Looking For Another Big Day In Week 8

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller rushed for 100 yards and recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season in Week 7 against the Jaguars. Now, he tries to keep that momentum going in Week 8 against a Dolphins team that's allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. With it finally […]

Deshaun Watson Should See Success Against Dolphins

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has had a few rough outings this season, including a pair of sub-200 yard games as he deals with a chest injury.

De'Aaron Fox Ineffective Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox played just 21 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, finishing with six points on 2-for-8 shooting.

Sacramento Kings guard Frank Mason III was 6-for-10 from the floor for 14 points in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, adding in a team-high seven assists plus five rebounds and a steal as well.

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond picked up his second technical foul and was ejected in the fourth quarter of Detroit's overtime win over the Sixers.

Stanley Johnson Scoreless Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson was scoreless in 19 minutes on Tuesday against Philadelphia, missing all five of his shot attempts while adding in three assists and a rebound.

J.J. Redick Scores 30 Points Against Detroit

There was some surprise when the Philadelphia Sixers announced that shooting guard J.J.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Markelle Fultz was primed for a big night with Ben Simmons (back) out, but instead head coach Brett Brown continued to limit his minutes, playing him just 21 minutes while letting T.J.

Dario Saric Struggles From Three Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric scored 14 points in 37 minutes in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons, but it wasn't the most efficient game for Saric, who connected on three of his five attempts from inside the arc, but was just 2-for-11 from deep.

Jabari Parker Scores 20 Against Dallas

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker scored 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting in Monday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He also added in three rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 24 minutes.

Zach LaVine Continues Offensive Explosion

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine scored 34 points on 11-for-15 shooting in Monday's loss the Dallas Mavericks. With three consecutive 30-point outings to open the season, LaVine is looking like the player that many thought he could be before a string of injuries cost him parts of the last two seasons. The Bulls play Charlotte […]

Kris Dunn Struggles With Shot Against Mavericks

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn went 4-for-13 from the field and 1-for-4 from three in Monday's loss to Dallas, finishing with nine points while also adding in seven assists and four rebounds.

Bobby Portis Effective Against Mavericks

Chicago Bulls power forward Bobby Portis scored 12 points on 5-for-9 shooting in Monday's loss to the Mavericks. Portis also added eight rebounds. With Lauri Markkanen (elbow) still set to miss a few more weeks, Portis is a good short term fantasy option. On Wednesday, he gets a Hornets squad that's allowing the eighth-most rebounds […]

Blake Bortles Remains Starter

The Jacksonville Jaguars will stick with Blake Bortles as the team's starting quarterback for the Week 8 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Though the team benched Bortles during a rough Week 7 performance against the Texans for backup Cody Kessler, they'll keep Bortles in the starting lineup for at least another week. Don't expect much […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Effective Against Rockets

It seems like it's only a matter of time before Los Angeles Clippers rookie guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander supplants either Patrick Beverley or Avery Bradley in the team's starting unit. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points in 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's win over Houston, shooting 4-for-8 from the field while adding five rebounds, four assists, […]

Lou Williams Scores 12 Points Despite Struggles From Field
